SiGMA Eurasia’s influential platform for all the goings on around the MENA region was ratified even more so following Xprizo’s past two days spent at the event. Dubai’s Festival Arena played the perfect host for this iGaming gathering of key speakers, star-studded guests and leading government officials.

Day 1 got off to a flyer for the company as we were able to benefit from the entire team being present. Meetings with important entities within the  iGaming and payment industries were aplenty and these led to numerous progressive conversations. A core focus for these conversations was potential interested parties gaining clear understanding on the positive impact our cutting-edge fintech platform will bring. 

Welcoming so many people to the event in Dubai allowed CVO Richard Mifsud to showcase how the Xprizo platform allows operators access to an array of payment methods, cash points, and banking options across all the territories we serve. Having our HQ in Abu Dhabi provides us with an ideal position to understand business realities in growing markets like Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. 

On top of the networking opportunities, Xprizo played an active role in the brilliantly curated panel discussion held across both days. Day 1 saw PR & Communications Manager Anita Kalergis moderate an insightful panel titled: Forecasting the Future and Crafting Aspiration. 

Day 2 got off to a brisk start when both Richard Mifsud and Anita Kalergis appeared on stage in back-to-back panels. The energy was tangible, likely due to positive feedback from the previous day’s sessions. 

Richard’s panel delved into the topic of enhancing online gaming operators’ appeal with advanced payment options, with Anita moderating the discussion. This discussion spanned the evolving landscape of global crypto payments, emphasising Xprizo’s role in fostering financial inclusion within communities. This, in turn, presents significant opportunities for merchants, particularly gaming companies, by introducing new audiences to games in a secure and reliable manner.

Conversations shifted to how Crypto might be the new way companies and individuals alike will be able to transact in a faster and more reliable manner. Our moderator led the discussion on MiCa, the challenges of crypto payments, but also its many advantages, e.g. speed of payments, global reach and security with certified operators where regulation was also a great part of the discussion. Richard explained that Xprizo only offers crypto where it is legal to do so but also added that slowly the populations will get educated until crypto will be mainstream and used by a greater number of people.

It was pleasing to see an influx of event attendees on the second day, alongside the bustling engagement of the Xprizo UAE team in meetings with potential partners, investors, and stakeholders. It underscored the continued interest in Xprizo’s offerings and the distinct advantages continue to attract fresh interest, sparking discussions on how to integrate unbanked communities into the financial ecosystem.
